The monocoque front triangle has many new features such as internal routing of the rear brake cable, new different section C-HS1 headset system and a new fork made to work perfectly in combination with the new headset. Also, the square chainstays have been developed following the design outlook of the whole Colnago range, having a square shaped cross section to guarantee more stiffness for greater pedalling efficiency.

The CLX 3.0 comes fitted with Shimano's Ultegra Di2 components, including the chainset - compact, and provides clean and precise shifting at the touch of a button. The changing is very quiet and extremely quick and once setup correctly will provide accurate shifting everytime. The compact chainset, with a wide range of sprockets on the cassette, gives you a larger choice of gears for speed and for climbing also. Many sportives events incorporate some nasty/steep climbs on the route so having a compact chainset makes life a little bit easier and stops you longing for a triple chainset.

The wheels are also from Shimano and in the form of their RS range (RS30). Strong and fairly light, these wheels will keep you moving and the Michelin Lithon 2 tyres will provide you with the grip you require.

Colnago are a well loved Italian cycling brand with many followers. The frames are stunning to look at, of high quality and also available in many sizes (8 sloping sizes). Quality and excellence are assured from Colnago.

Each CLX 3.0 is fully built, tested and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition.

About the Colnago brand

Ernesto Colnago was born in Cambiago, a small rural village twenty kilometers east of Milano on February 9, 1932. Ernesto was just 13 years old, but to start work, he had to be at least 14. He changed the date on his working papers and so was hired as an assistant welder. It was 1954 when Colnago went out on his own in a tiny little workshop, his bicycles have been used by more than 100 professional team, 2,500 professional racers, who have won more than 7,500 wins worldwide. Champion riders of the caliber of Fiorenzo Magni, Gastone Nencini, Eddy Merckx, Giuseppe Saronni, Gianni Motta, Gibì Baronchelli, Michele Dancelli, Gianni Bugno, Oscar Freire, Johan Museeuw, Tony Rominger, Pavel Tonkov, Yaroslaw Popovych, Erik Zabel e Alessandro Petacchi, and many others, have ridden Colnago Bicycles to victory.
As the great researcher and innovator he is, Colnago created the first frameset in carbon fibre in collaboration with Ferrari Engineering in 1986. The next year, the innovative straight-blade “Precisa” was created. In 1989, two years later, the dramatic Colnago “C35” emerged, an innovative monocoque carbon fibre frame in road racing & mountain bike versions. 1994 was a hallmark year when Colnago introduced the ground-breaking “C40” carbon fibre frameset for his 40th anniversary and still a reference point today. No other frame has won as much as the Colnago C40: 5X Paris-Roubaix and many World Championships. In 2000 another remarkable model emerged from Colnago’s atelier: the limited edition CF1, created in collaboration with Ferrari that quickly became a major success. Next was the CF2 dual-suspension mountain bike in 2002. After ten years of success in every segment, Ernesto Colnago launched the “C50” in 2003. It was the Fiftieth Anniversary of his company, a brand that has become synonymous with the best bicycles the world over, synonymous with the best products Made in Italy. This new carbon fibre composite frame quickly found success in both the competition and sales arena. And for 2004, for the official anniversary of Colnago, a special collectors item bicycle was created, the “50th Anniversary”.
Ernesto Colnago continues to dream about and create bicycles appreciated by riders passionate about cycling all over the world. Don’t ask Colnago which of his bicycles is the best: his answer is always the same. “I’ve made a lot of bicycles, but the most beautiful is the one that is yet to come.”

Real Class
Only been riding the bike for just over a fortnight but put in several hundred miles over pretty hilly terrain and variable road surfaces. That's been enough to tell that this is a bike of real quality. It gives a stiff, smooth and comfortable ride handling well on hills and tight bends and a real improvement on my Pinarello on rough road surfaces. The Di2 gears are so much quicker and smoother than the mechanical ultegra gears on my other bike. I can't see myself doing without electronic gears in future. Wheels and saddles are a matter of personal preference so I've replaced the Shimano RS wheels, which were OK, with my Mavic Ksyrium Elites. The Selle Italia saddle suits me; I have one on my other bike but others might want to fit whatever suits them. Otherwise the spec is great. At the current sale price this bike is a bargain. Other Colnago owners that I know told me that once you buy one you never change brand again. I think they're right.

great bike ,great price great customer service
the bike is fantastic
got it on the wed and rode from Paris to Turin the following week.
It didnt miss a beat , the Di2 was spot on despite 4 days of solid rain
Great service from wiggle
told them about my charity bike ride and from ordering it on the sunday it arrived ready to ride on the wed morning.

Excellent Bike
A stylish looking bike if a little understated in black and white. The new Di2 gears are a joy to use, and I don't think I will ever go back to a mechanical option. The quality is very high, neat touches like partially integral cables, and sculpted frame tubes. I had to change the stem as original was too long, but no problem with that. The paintwork is in Matt black, so will be tricky to keep clean I feel... Overall a very comfortable bike on the road, apperars more so than my old Trek madone.

Stunning looks, great ride
I've had this bike for just shy of a month buying it from Wiggle. The bike arrived well within the delivery time promised and was packed professionally. I had it out the box and with an alan key the Colnago CLX was ready for a test ride within minutes. I'm not sure why wiggle sends the pedals they do with this bike, they were so cheap and out of spec, the pedals went straight into the bin. Such a waste, I'd rather Wiggle kept the pedals no one would ever use them on a bike of this nature.
The ride is incredible, I'd been measured before I placed the order and having a frame that fitted makes the ride very comfortable. The frame is light and very responsive. I'm loving the cornering and comfortable ride. Di2 is a real luxury and works superbly, great specs for a great bike. I'm going to replace the RS30 wheels with the mavic ksyrium sl from my other bike, but this is only because of my preference and because I already have these great wheels. The RS30 do the job competently, even if some reviews say they are a tad heavy it's not noticeable.
Overall a stunning bike that I'm thoroughly enjoying
06 September 2013

Based on the size guide, for my height, I should get a 54 cm frame. However, my inside leg measurements are off your chart. I have long legs and a short torso. So, despite my long arm reach, due to my short torso, the frame size can't be too big as it would come with a longer top tube. In the past, I have gone with 54 cm frames and while they fit perfectly for my leg length, in each case I have had to change to a shorter front stem.

Answers

Answer:

I'm surprised that you got this unhelpful answer. When I ordered one nearly a year ago Wiggle fitted a larger cassette and charged me for the cassette and chain (i.e. no labour charge) and sent me the originals with the order. The largest cassette you can use is 11 - 28t and I'm glad I got it as the extra 3 teeth make a big difference. I have seen other people have to wheel up hills when I haven't!
